TAMPA – The Tampa Bay Buccaneers already have a new look at the top of the organization. Now, their new look on the field is complete.

The Bucs and Nike on Monday unveiled their new uniform design, featuring the Nike Elite 51 design.

“Today marks the culmination of more than two years of research and planning to bring the Tampa Bay Buccaneers into a new and exciting era of our history,” Bucs co-chairman Edward Glazer said.

The uniform features what the Bucs said is an energized and richer pewter paired with a brighter, more vibrant shade of Buccaneer Red. In homage to the Buccaneers’ early uniforms, the look also features Bay Orange as a new primary trim color and accent on the jersey and pants.

The Bucs are the first NFL franchise to incorporate a reflective chrome border around the numbers on the front, back and shoulders. The chrome border incorporates a technologically advanced reflective coating that adds increased readability and a unique glow to the numbers.

The redesigned wooden ship logo is positioned on the right shoulder and the word “Bucs” on the left. The enhanced flag is displayed on the right and left hip of the pant.
